. . . but there are some men who are just so butt-ugly and so devoid of personality, that no matter how rich they are, they are still unattractive, boring and ugly . . . .

But if they were poor, you would think they were really, really, really butt-ugly.

The guy narrating the six-part History Channel thing on the SS sounds an awful lot like the guy on City Confidential. And the music. I mean, this shit is creepy and evil enough without using the creepy voice. The creepy voice is just irritating.

I haven't watched, but does the guy you're talking about narrate a lot of programs that show up on the history channel and a&e and the like? There's a man who narrated a program about horrible airline disasters -- including the one where the KLM pilot on takeoff clipped the top of another plane sitting on the runway and killed hundreds of people -- and now whenever I hear his voice I fear impending disaster. Sometimes he narrates specials that do not involve death and his voice is just all wrong.

An opportunity to engage in a drunken three-way was wasted in Ann Arbor over the weekend.

Woman wanders into stranger's bedroom

A 21-year-old Ann Arbor woman thought she had arrived home from a bar when she entered a stranger's home, took a shower and then passed out in a spare bedroom, city police reported.

The 24-year-old resident of the home in the 800 block of Tappan Street told police he was in bed with his girlfriend at 6:30 a.m. Saturday when the woman entered his bedroom wearing only a towel. When he asked her what she was doing, she claimed she was meeting someone, then walked into his spare room and passed out in bed, police said.

When officers arrived, they had to shake the woman to wake her. Police said she began crying and said she thought she had walked home after drinking at the bar. She said she didn't know why she took a shower.

The woman was given an alcohol breath test and registered 0.18, more than twice the legal limit for drunken driving, police said. She was given a ride home by officers.

I don't think I've ever been drunk enough to have forgotton the purposes of taking a shower.

I suppose -- because in that case, they couldn't even use their $$ to "clean themselves up" to the point that they can when they do have the ginormous bank account.

I do not know. He makes everything sound sinister, which is irritating because some of the stuff is just not sinister ("He was born in Heidelburg").

TM - So you think laughing about how Thrashers Fan's initials stand for tit-fuck is funny, but my saying TM stands for Tush Munch is pathetic? Umm, yeah, that is probably right.

The problem with Tush Munch is that you've got two different u sounds with too little time to make the transition. It just doesn't roll off the tongue like it should.

Does anyone think the "models" Donald Trump gets to nail actually find him physically attractive?

I think some of them do. I believe that there is this filter in most (hetero) women's brains that causes them to actually perceive men who are successful/powerful to be better looking than they are. It is not just money that can cause this. It is power, too. Probably more power than anything, it is just that power is often achieved with money in this society.

I'm impressed that he reached out to fans, but I am unconvinced that they were the ones who helped him make his final decision.

C'mon, it's the holiday season. Suspend disbelief for a little while.

My apologies. I accidently read this. But Atticus is correct, of course. Saying that you like to "party" makes you seem like a Wayne's World extra. Follow it up with "like a rock star" and there is no hope for you. Instead, you should say that you like to "engage in the act of partying." While this may technically violate Atticus' "party as a verb rule," it does so with class.

I think you mean "classily."

Apparently, TM does. He thought it was hilarious that TF stands for tit-fuck. But did not find Tush Munch as amusing.

I am glad you spelled it out -- I would have thought it was Jesus Fried Chicken.

However, I did black out once, but didn't lose consciousness. I fell off a horse onto very hard ground on my head, and had a concussion.

It has never occurred to me to go horse back riding drunk. Somehow, that seems to make drunk driving pale by comparison. I cannot imagine how sick riding horseback drunk might leave me.
